Ask HN: Is SearchYC.com gone?
I've noticed it offline the past day or two, I used it pretty extensively to find old threads on here. Any alternatives if it's gone for good?
- billswift 15y agoI tried it a few times but got better results using Google with site:news.ycombinator.com so I haven't kept up with what's been happening with SearchYC.
- JoachimSchipper 15y agoSearchYC used to take points into account, which is at least one advantage over Google. I don't think it had any special access in the current case, though.
- _delirium 15y agoIt also let you restrict results to top-level submissions, while the common news.ycombinator.com/item url scheme for both submissions and comments makes it hard to keep comments out of Google results.
